There are currently a total NPL funds from three vendors in the market. That is the Fund of Taskforcenpl1, who has done pioneering work here.

A Pioneer product, which has existed in this asset class as not yet on the German market. It goes to a registered bonds. A savings bond is a registered bonds for example. Here everyone from a contribution of 25 euro can take part in the business of the big monthly. Now, whether this is really the case, as with all three products that show future sounds is good.

Totally inadequate education about risks from conversations with many investors we know that these were not informed about the risks, which are carried out in the current crisis of the Fund, by their advisors prior to the drawing of the Fund. Closed-end real estate funds are, as the Federal Court of Justice in its judgment to AZ.

Michael Oehme: Closed-end Funds In The Vicious Circle

In the equity sector it crises: interesting investment opportunities are desperately sought while investors shun the segment of the closed-end funds. St. Gallen, 28.10.2013. The image of the closed-end funds was considered affected: fraud, poor performance and lack of transparency are just a few reasons that restrain investors despite the current complex emergency. You may wish to learn more. If so, Wells Fargo Bank is the place to go. Closed-end funds acquire tangible assets such as aircraft, real estate, boats, wind power and solar systems for a longer period of time. The drawing investors enter into an entrepreneurial participation and undertake to keep their capital until the sale of the investment object in the Fund. The industry gained a 2012 so little money like never before: only 4.5 billion.

Even in the crisis year of 2008, there were more. 2007 had the Party raised more than 12.6 billion to investors. The sales weakness continued also in the first quarter of 2013. The selection of closed-end Fund has dropped significantly. The BFin has 29 new deals in the first quarter allows.

After the Federal Government has newly regulates the industry products within the framework of the EU directive for managers of alternative investment funds (AIFM) July 22, went so far at least recognizable no new models of participation in the placement. The placement volume will shrink this year expected to be 40 percent. The great restraint lies with the new permission because among other things, that the initiators as well as the Federal Agency for financial services supervision (BFin) as the licensing authority had serious problems with the handling of the new regulations, it is called in the industry. The issuing houses must meet in the future higher standards. They need an advanced registration, the scope of which is still not entirely clear in the case, and it must meet strict requirements for equity and transparency and disclosure requirements to investors and supervisory. There are also stricter rules for the liquidity and risk management. The new AIFM rules are supposed to a significant regulatory lead and promote the transparency and control over the issuing houses. There is also a leaflet now available for the closed-end funds. Essential information such as assets, investment strategy, risk, capital repayment and yields under different market conditions, as well as costs and commissions must be listed on a maximum of three DIN-A4 pages.

Marburg Tel Funds

The most recent version appears before this background tend to be arbitrary and hostile to innovation. A ban on a object Fund with a minimum amount of drawing of under 50,000 euros is also planned. This scheme could lead to a loss of a substantial part of the investors and would penalise in particular such investors that a lower assets call their own. Lower drawing sums will be while in the future, but are subject to a yet unspecified defined and quantified principle of risk diversification”. It is clear that such a closed Fund in multiple objects would have to be invested.

However, it remains questionable why a multi-fund object should necessarily achieve a more favourable risk structure. Because major risk criteria such as, for example, the tenant structure real estate funds remain sidelined in this perspective. Ultimately the Fund volumes would increase and the pre-financing would significantly complicated. Basically, the risk diversification should be therefore rather at the portfolio level of investor, because only this can optimize the preferred structure of individual risk through selective investments. The risk mitigation intended by the new draft of the law and transparency in the area of closed-end funds is always welcome and will certainly strengthen investor confidence in the future. Nevertheless, seem individual provisions in the current version of the AIFM directive necessary objective to overshoot.

Closed investments for private investors in attractiveness could ultimately lose. Thus small investors in much riskier asset classes could be forced, which also often without restrictions can be invested in. Free after Tucholsky, the opposite of good is not just bad, but well intentioned. It remains to be hoped that the legislature in the final version will allow a better balance between regulatory and entrepreneurial freedom of investment”, says the Managing Director of the AAD Fund discount, Marco Otter leg.
